(This book cannot be returned.)
Description
If you have ever dreamed of owning your own tailwheel airplane, launching into a perfectly blue sky on a sunny morning, and cruising off to a remote place in the backcountry, this book has something special in store for you.
Captured within the following pages are stories that explore our flying fantasies in a way that can only be described as "truth". And why not, when we have always been told truth is stranger than fiction
These pages will take you in taildragging airplanes to some of the most remote places on earth. Places like River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho; the sand surfaced dry lake in Alvord Desert of Oregon; unnamed lakes in Alaska; and even the barren ice bound void of Antarctica
Let us guide you along as we investigate some of the flying skills that must be learned while flying your aircraft safely into the mountainous backcountry, and enduring all seasons of the year, whether on wheels, skiis, or floats. You will also find documented results of various flying excursions that had unintended results.
